A Book a Week – Angle of Repose

When Jake and I were planning to move to the West Coast, several people told me to read Angle of Repose. It’s the quintessential California book, I was told. I bought it.

But I never read it.

We’ve now been in the west coast for nine years. And I finally got to read it thanks to book club. And you know what? It was wonderful. Slow in parts, quite sad but still beautifully written and told. I haven’t read any of his other books but now I know I want to.

And I must admit, it’s not as much about California as it is about moving to the west. A solid, wonderful read.
